Argentina - no mention of the Welsh in Patagonia
The Welsh were pioneers of the opening up of Argentine Patagonia in the 19th century and there are still Welsh speakers there today. This is not mentioned in this article even though there is a separate wikipage about it.

One Drop rule in Argentina studies
The one drop rule establishes that even if one grand-grand parent was Amerindian, the person is considered Amerindian, regardless of the other seven grand-grand parents being pure white. Similarly, if one grand-grand parent was black, the person is black or mestizo, even when they may look striklingly European. People must have full European ancestry to be regarded as white in the forementioned studies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2800:40:28:1155:31E3:7264:B813:41D1 (talk) 03:03, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

White Dominicans
There is no such thing as a White Dominican, the actual White Dominicans makeup 2% of the population and they are all old people that have a little bit of time left to live, what they call White in the Dominican Republic are lighter skin biracial, with nappy kinky hair 4c hair, with strong African features, and no European features, and most of the time they don’t even have light skin, they have natural brown skin, not tan, like actual brown skin, most White Dominicans would be seen as brown or black in other Latin countries Salina828 (talk) 03:30, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

White Latin Americans: Hard to quantify
Since most latin americans are mixed race, only a blood ancestry study or an AI analyzing images could determine a reasonable number. If you ask people if they feel white, some complexes could appear on the answer since for some countries (being white gives you socialstatus). Some errors are that, in Brazil most people do not view themselves as black (since this gives you a low social status) and only 7% answer that they feel black, however accourding to some analytic and blood studies, the black population should double that number. Other was if ask if you feel white, more chileans said in proportion that they feel white than argentineans, which is completly mistaken, since analytic and blood studies suggest way more euroean bloodline on Argentina than in Chile. I recommend checking again those numbers on the table with more reliable information, rather than just polls asking people how they feel. 93.240.150.37 (talk) 16:19, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
